SACDs - Foerster

An original programme of post-Smetana chamber music placing Janacek amongst his contemporary competitors. Naturalism (Fibich), spiritual fidelity to the ethic of Dvořák (Foerster) and uncompromising patriotism (Novák) form a sharp contrast to the storyteller, composer of the ‘Kreutzer Sonata’ Quartet, forgetting the law of counterpoint, as in Pohádka whose centennial Praga commemorate here, in the original four- movement version.
